3.2.2 Starting the VPN Client Connection
Method 1:
Automatic Start
In section “ Starting and stopping a VPN client connection” on page 57 , the
configuration of the Automatic Start mechanism is explained. All parameters
required for starting the connection are stored in the SpeedTouch™ configuration
file, and no further user interaction is required to start the VPN connection. With
XAuth configured, the authentication parameters are stored in the SpeedTouch™
and can be regarded as a group authentication for all terminals that have access to
the VPN. In case of nat virtual IP mapping multiple terminals may simultaneously
access the VPN. In case of dhcp virtual IP mapping, a single terminal at a time is
allowed to access the VPN.
Method 2:
Manual Start
If the Manual Start mechanism is selected, no connection startup parameters are
configured in the SpeedTouch™. Each time you want access to the VPN, you have
to manually dial in and enter the login parameters. A manual dial-in page is
available in the SpeedTouch™ Web pages.
The manual start mechanism is most suited in a teleworker scenario, where a single
user makes use of the VPN connection.
